Herbaceous
biomass yield in two contrasting habitats of a dry tropical
environment

ABSTRACT
: Herbaceous biomass yield was studied in two
contrasting habitats of a dry tropical environment. One
habitat was nutrient poor mine spoil whereas the another
habitat was nutrient rich forest soil. The herbaceous
biomass yield was significantly greater in forest soil
in comparison to mine spoil. However, the root/shoot
ratio was significantly greater in mine spoil than
forest soil.
